LARCHMONT, N.Y. -- A guest speaker at a June meeting of Larchmont Rotary talked about where families can find support if they have a member with special needs.

Counselor Joanne Amorosi said having a chartered special needs consultant, or ChSNC, and other community supports that can help families navigate laws governing individuals with special needs.

The ChSNC professional has an in-depth knowledge of laws governing special needs individuals such as guardianships, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, disability insurance and special needs trusts, Amorosi said.
